On Meetings

For all of you corporate warriors who go to meetings most of your day.

For all of you who complain about meetings, whine about meetings, and avoid meetings at all costs.

For those of you who feel that you might actually get something done at work if you weren’t in meetings.

May I present to you – Seth Godin’s Mighty Meeting post.

The key here is this sentence from the post – “lot of people get paid to go to meetings.”

I think a lot of people forget they are actually getting paid to go to meetings. And when you forget that, you stop working at meetings. And when you stop working at a meeting, the meeting won’t work.

Also, just got done listening to the “Death By Meeting” book on tape. Takeaway there – meetings should be exciting, strategic, focused, and full of conflict. Well worth a listen or a read.

No if you will excuse me – I am off to a meeting.
